Rynari’s POV
I wish this would just end. He’s been dancing with me for who knows how long and I still have no idea how to contact Diego. He said that if I’m not back by ten then he would go to the ball and search for me.
“So tell me, why did you decide to go to this ball?” Hendry asked. I reluctantly stared at him. He wants to know why I went to this ball? Why is he curious about me?
“Oh, I know that look. You are confused as to why I’m asking you this question. Well, to be frank, you remind me of someone,” he said and spun me around. I gasped when he abruptly pulled me against him and I tried to steady myself. I looked at him. He has a daunting smirk on his face. I nervously swallowed and pulled away from him. His smirk faltered but I quickly turned around to get away from him. I n
Diego's POV I felt myself being dragged away as I slowly lose my consciousness. F*ck! Why am I so weak? I hate being weak! I clenched my fists as I felt anger bottling up inside me. My body suddenly moved on its own. Without me being able to know what's going on, the guards are suddenly gasping for air. "Argh--Ahhh--!" My fists collided with the guard's jaw and he stumbled on the ground. I stepped on his windpipe. I don't know why I suddenly went very violent but the power surging in my veins are unstoppable. After a few seconds, they all suddenly dropped to the ground and the atmosphere all went back to normal in an instant. I sta
Third Person's POV The events that occurred yesterday were a shock to Dennis. He found out that the woman, Helena, was able to escape from Ralph. Dennis was unable to react to this. His anger could not be measured. She had escaped! How the f*ck was she able to escape? She was also able to take the minerals they had embezzled. She must've had someone else take them or was she supposed to be a distraction? She's one tricky woman. In anger, he ordered his men to fetch him a slave girl. His hand etched to grab someone by the neck. Dennis heard the sound of faint footsteps and a body thudding as it fell on the dirty floor of the dungeon. He looked at the man laying on the ground right beside him. A sneer formed on
Third Person’s POV “How dare you laugh, you f*cking loser!” the guard shouted at Ralph. His eyes had that deranged glimmer in them. He punched Ralph once more. Ralph groaned at the pain. The arrogant guard furiously smirked at him, his eyes ablaze. Ralph had a moment to recover and when he did, he spit on the guards face. The guard glared down at him. “How dare you? You asked me for help, didn’t you? And you we’re the ones who should be ashamed of yourselves, you idiots we’re the ones who brought that man a witch. I can’t believe that you would blame this on me, you pathetic f*cks!” Ralph croaked out, his voice cracking. The guards turned their heads to look at the deceased girl who is laying on the cold and rough surface of the ground. “Help me—Arhgg--!” Dennis exclaimed as he reached for someone but the guards moved away from him. The guards suddenly turned to look at each other and the guards held their heads when the realization hi
Hendry’s POV Dennis just stared at me like he wanted to apologize to me but I don’t need him anymore. I don’t need someone who ruins my name to be my subordinate. Men like that can ruin an empire. Although I do detestable things, I hate having my dignity being trampled on. No one does this to me and gets away with it. No one. But then I still need him for something. He'll prove useful for my experiments. I need to make experiments and have breakthroughs with regards to every race, that includes vampires. This is the only thing that excites me this days, experimenting. That’s been my hobby ever since I was younger. That was our hobby, me and my first love’s. We would spend all night doing just that when we’re young. I was ambitious ever since I was young and I know that I always will be. That was all that kept me going. Her and my ambition. She was part of the future that I held on to. I shook my head and faced Nikolai. I told him to go and fol
Ralph’s POV I started to walk again until I reached the shop. When I saw it, I did not bother knocking and I just quickly went inside the shop. When I entered, I took some time to look around. The shop has not changed since then. It still looked the same as before. Enchanting and mysterious. Like it’s something that will transport you to another world. Like something out of a fairytale. Well, that’s how I used to think about this place ever since I was young and that is how I think about it until now. That old crook. No matter how much money I send her, she never had any plan on spending it to, at least, make the shop look more like a shop and not like a run down shack. Well, she’s just the type to do so. That’s what I always admired about her. She’s an amazing woman. But still, it always feel like home here. I like this place. I've always liked it ever since I was younger and that never changed. I heard the sound of bells chiming and
Rynari’s POV “So? What do you think is going to happen. You don't know what will happen, right?” I asked my mate, “It’s because you assume too much. You don't even know what happened! You just acted on your own intuition! Well, you should learn how to stop that cause I can barely move.” When we were done, I had the courage to speak to Endrée. How could he? He’s so selfish! He knows that we have to travel and yet he still ravaged me like there’s no tomorrow. “I’m sorry, I just got so worried about your safety. Do you have any idea, any idea at all his worried I was knowing it was only you—” he said but I cut him off. “And Diego—I was right! You are jealous!” I exclaimed as I glared at him, “You always keep this walls around you and you get jealous when I’m around other men yet you—” I added but he cut me off as well. “You have no rights in telling me how to feel it’s just the mate bond! You have a duty yet you’re here flirting around with men!”
Endrée’s POV “You seem to have say, death wish Mr. Calder or should I say, Lycan King. You have the audacity to just infiltrate the palace and barge in the throne room and force me to obey by using my daughter as hostage. Have you no shame? Have you? You act like a savage, no manners! Like some kind of dog. And you call yourself a King. That’s right you’re a king indeed. The king of savages! Sister’s s—” she stated but I quickly cut her off. Anger burned in her eyes. “I’m not here to declare another war against you. I am here to make amends. I know that I did things—bad things—but I’m willing to do offer a truce. I want to declare a truce to your coven. I know that this is unexpected but I’ve come to realize how wrong I was. My Pack approved of this as well so I am hoping that you’ll accept this offer for both our Kingdom’s sake,” I said with a gesture of my hand. The witches looked at each other and then they looked at the Witch Queen. My eyes met the Witch
Rynari's POV I don’t know what happened but during this past few days, I could barely see my mate. There are also more security in the palace premises. I asked Derrick about it but he keeps on dodging the question. He’s saying that he was just planning something big. I already have an idea what it could be. It’s about what happened in the mines or somehow connected to it. Endrée must’ve already known that I already met that man. I tried to hide the fact that I know that man, Hendry, away from him by acting like I don’t know Hendry and his connection to the missing minerals. I had a feeling that if he knew about him then something big might happen. A war might break out and I wanted to prevent that from happening. I wanted to formulate a plan where I can save all the people. No casualty at all. No blood shed, no grieving and no revenge. I wanted to help him. He is my mate, my King, my partner for life. He has to understand t
Rynari's POV I gazed at the distance with a troubled mind. It's been a week since I last saw his face. My heart got caught in my throat at the thought of him being and living together in one place with Lorene. But what can I do? My situation prevents me from living with him, at least for now. I just wish for this problems to be solved and to pass by quickly without thinking about him cause it hurts when I do. The more that I think about him, my thoughts always drift towards that woman and the events that occurred that one dreadful night. I still have my doubts. As long as she's there, so close to him and I'm here, away from him, this doubts will never cease to exist. I tried to keep myself busy but I just can't help but miss him. Someone cleared their throat and I turned my head only to see Diego standing there. He was tilting his head while he examined my face. I tried to keep a happy expression but I'm sure it appeared rather awkward and forced. I sighed and was about to turn m
Rynari’s POV Endrée slowly walked towards me. And heart pounded as I continued to brush my hair frantically, trying to ignore him. My hand shook when the scene earlier flashed in my mind. I could feel my body warning me, it’s warming up at the thought and it’s dangerous. I’m still worried about the fact that I might get pregnant. He is not using protection! I could smell his alluring scent no matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it kept on poking my nose. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself but then I could see myself in the reflection and knew that I was already very turned on, waiting to be devoured. My nipples are so erected, it poked through the thin fabric of the bathrobe. Nevertheless, I acted as if my mate wasn’t there. I’m afraid my thoughts will be more than just thoughts and I’d act upon it by jumping him. I quickly shook my head as I continued to brush my hair. My body needs to learn to not be satiated. I can’t let Endrée think that I’m a woman who couldn’t ev
Third Person’s POV Footsteps echoed all over the walls. The woman sat up and peered from behind the bars. Her eyes glowed and tried her best to hear where the footsteps came from. However, it was impossible. The place she was in when she woke up is dark, she could see nothing but darkness. After trying to decipher where the mysterious footsteps really came from, she decided to just stop and wait for the person to reveal itself. She was too tired and wounded from what happened earlier, she does not know what time it is when she woke up for all her tools and belongings where taken. Her head still ached but she tried her best to mask it. She does not want to appear weak. After all, she was here for a mission. After a few seconds, she realized that the sound footsteps are no longer there. She could feel her heart beat faster and faster but she steeled herself. She needs to be strong. “Who are you?” a raspy voice spoke in the darkness. She immediat
Endrée’s POV “What—Your Majesty, are you listening?” I snapped out of my trance when I Derrick call out to me. “Yes, I’m just—just thinking,” I answered and cleared my throat. I closed my eyes and exhaled. This is harder than what I thought. “I can’t believe that you just fired all those maids one by one. The people might have start to question their trust towards us.” We are currently having a meeting regarding the events that took place yesterday. Just as I told my beta, I returned in the afternoon, which I wish I should’ve taken back because I regret leaving her side so early. “Don’t question me. I was the one who saw what happened. I will not allow a mere maid to badmouth the Queen, it’s a f*cking treason,” Derrick answered, growling out. His eyes turned gold and he bared his fangs in anger. “I—forgive me, Beta Derrick. I will not do it again,” the man whispered. “Now that it is settled, make sure to keep your useless words to yourself nex
Third Person’s POV “Are you not mad at me?” she asked Endrée as a blush crept up her porcelain features. She resisted the urge to bite her lips as he stared at her, his eyes glowing brighter. Like rubies, it glimmered even without the presence of light. Endrée resisted the urge to dart his tongue out and lick her cheeks. He wanted to kiss her again but he was afraid that she and might not end up fixing the situation. “I'm not mad at you. It's just that of all the places you could go to, it has to be my nephew Diego’s place. You know what this action of yours will affect me. Do you have any idea how this might make me think, the kinds of thoughts in be having? He—he's known for his reputation,” Endrée answered, trying to calm himself. He admitted that he does not trust his nephew. Endrée could not see it but when it comes to his mate, he loses his confidence in his sexual appeal. He often thinks that some guy might come and steal her away. As if she would be e
Third Person's POV"Hey, are you alright?" Morgan asked. He is a colleague of Ralph who was recruited the same day as him. He is a human. Ralph does not know how to act around the individual. He does not even want to associate with him. Ralph knows what this Morgan individual wants, he wants to get dirt on Ralph. Ralph felt as if he was not the one that needed to answer the question but Morgan instead. Morgan looked like so high. Ralph could not think straight because he just drank up fifteen bottles or alcohol.Although he is a half breed, that does not mean that he cannot get drunk. Being half werewolf and half vampire has its perks and one of its perks is that he cannot get drunk. However, Ralph could still get drunk if he has taken huge amounts of alcohol mixed with wolfsbane. Adding the fact that alcohol is poisonous to vampires, Ralph felt drunk and weak as ever.But he did not expect to meet a colleague here. Moreover, this colleague is someon
Endrée's POVMy heart beat loudly in my chest out of anger. My fist collided with the wall as I smashed things around. "What the f*ck is going on?" I growled out as I held my head. What is wrong with me? That time, when I let that woman seduce me, I felt as if there was a force in me that made me succumb to her seduction.'Good. Now you made things worse between you and Ryna,' Dante sneered, growling as he snarled at me. 'Don't forget that things between you two were already fragile and now, you so deliberately made her feel like she's not good enough for you!' he added as he scoffed and shuffled his feet.I sighed and groaned as I slumped on the chair.'I'm sorry Dante. I did not for things like this to happen, I swear,' I said but he did not reply and ignored me.'Hey! Talk to me,' I commanded him and he whipped his head to glare at me.'Talk to her. Make up for what you did by apologizing!' he commanded me and stomped his right foot.'Okay. Bu
Third Person's POV A man walked with his men behind him. His hands clenched as he stared at the door of his office. He looked out of the window and then growled as he slammed his fist on the face of the man standing beside the door. “How could you be so reckless? Why weren’t you able to keep her safe? I told you to keep an eye on her didn’t I?” he seethed as he kicked him on his knees. The poor guy bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound as he stumbled on the ground. Hendry glared down at him contemptuously. Hendry was stressed out and furious to find out that the experimental life inside the guard dog, Cynthia, was dead. He had thought that her condition was not that critical because of the incident a month ago but it turned out that the guards were not observant enough to find out that she was really having a hard time recovering. And yet, Hendry was not that blind with the fact that they loathed her so much so it made no sense for them t
Third Person’s POV When they arrive at Diego’s place, Rynari could only do nothing but gawk. The place looked amazing, it was totally the type of place she’ll want for herself. Comfortable and isolated. It was as if she saw a place where she would want to live forever. A sad smile slowly formed on her lips and Diego noticed this. He walked and stood beside her as she gazed all around the place in admiration. “So, what do you think? You like this kinds of places too, don’t you? Isolated?” he asked and smiled when she turned her head to face him. “Yeah, totally my type of place…” she said and her sentence trailed of as she sighed. “What’s wrong? Something bothering you?” Diego asked as if he did not know what was weighing on her mind. “Nothing. It’s just that I have no hope in this anymore, you know. I can’t have a place like this. I’ll never get to experience a life like yours. A life that is free of responsibility. Even
